    especially the music kept me looking at it

    It must be more than ten years ago that I saw this mini-series. Probably a period that I loved very dramatic films and books. But I can never forget this series. It was film so 'smooth' and 'rich' and especially the music was dramatic. I'm really curious what I would experience if I would see it these days. It's funny that the bible-borrowed title of the series announces that the clash between Kane and Abel will be very dramatic. That's very smart of the creators, I think.

    clear, decent and truthful

    The title of this mini series probably fooled a lot of people - Kane and Abel - as suppose to - Cain and Abel. It was one of the best mini series I've seen on TV. Very good acting on the part of Strauss, Neill, Silver, Dukes & Fred Gwynne. I really enjoyed and appreciated the role of Davis LeRoy, it wasn't just his character, his voice captivated me, it was sad that he had to exit out the way he did and so quickly. This picture was so good, that I could watch it over and over again, without getting bored. To watch Strauss's incline and Neill's decline was something else, with Dukes in the midst thereof, he was a dirty ole' rascal, but we all know to well that, " What goes around, comes around " and then like Emeril say, " Bammm " ! I would love for it to return to TV once again and I do hope that it'll be soon, like I said, " I can watch it over and over again without getting bored " . Not only did the actors I mentioned above did a fantastic job, but the whole entire cast was great, hope to see you all on TV again real soon. By the way, why isn't that mini series on video ? That's all I have to say for now, thanks.

    It wasn't the book, but very good.

    I have read and re-read this masterpiece of a novel many times in the last twenty years. My Mom gave me the book when I was recuperating from a bad car wreck, knowing that I would enjoy a novel that mixed actual world history in the storyline. Living in Lowell, Massachusetts and knowing Boston very well it was entertaining to see such familiar names and landmarks mentioned. Abel's early life in German-occupied Poland was more fascinating. When the miniseries came around I had to see it. Good casting and acting...that is about it, I felt I had an advantage over the casual viewer, having such intimate and detailed knowledge of the book. I could not help but silently critique it, but in the end I felt it was a very entertaining effort and enjoyed it. It was worth the watching, although the reading was better. Isn't it always that way, and rarely vice-versa? I give it a 7-plus out of ten.

    Trying to find volume 3 on VHS or volume 1/2/3 on DVD

    I seen the mini series when aired on British TV and i enjoyed it very much.

    Sam Neill was brilliant as William Lowell Kane my mother would have to disagree as she liked Peter Strauss as Abel Rosnovski as she had a soft spot for him as an actor.

    I have now bought volume 1 & 2 on VHS.

    But i can not find the volume 3on VHS any where if anyone knows where i can obtain it i would love to hear from you.

    I would also like to find the 3 volumes on DVD also.

    As the videos are for my mum who also loved the mini series.

    And watch it once again.

    slice from a period

    a Biblical suggestion. great cast. clever script. and a long battle between two men each with his way. a legendary series who seduce again and again. not only for acting or story but for special care to create its atmosphere. a film about success and self - definition who impose Peter Strauss and Sam Neail in two powerful roles. and the science to explore each detail of character, the air of 1980 years, the music, the dialogs, the costumes, the mark of different societies and the inspired direction are keys for an admirable work who use the drama nuances and the soap - opera tricks, who impose the dream as possibility and transforms the rules of fairy tale. a film about a competition. or a kind of war.memorable scenes and nice memories.
